Evening Session.

At 7:30 o'clock the lecture room of the
church was crowded with cultivated
audience, and the exercises that followed
were Of the most interesting and entertain
ing character. The programme was opened
in the usual manner, and Mr.. ]. NJ. Ham,
mord sang solo ''They all loved Jack, l"
in an excellent manner. Prof. Anderson
introduced State Superintendent OF Schools
Hon. B. s. Morgan, who made few ap-
propriate remarks, after which, Mrs. Fred.
Seymour sang "Adieu" beautifully.
DR.. NJ. A. Newell was then introduced
and the audience was treated to one OF the
finest lectures listened to for many days
The Doctors subject was "Young Amer
ica," and his lecture was characteristic oil
him, highly entertaining and instructive.
He began by relating an incident OF gen.
tleman in one of the West India Islands,
whose family had been badly frightened
by an earthquake and were living IN
daily terror of another. he s.nt
his two sons, boys OF ten and twelve years,
In England to remain at friends house
till the earthquake season should nave
passed over. The next westward bound
mail steamer brought letter from ms
English friend, brief but full OF meaning;
"Take back your boys; send me the earth
quake" can imagine what kind oil boys
they were.
But the number of boys and girls seem
to be decreasing, and in place Of them we
have premature crops of young ladies ana
Young gentlemen" This shosld not be en-
couraged. Society has no need Of proeocious
JUVENILES OF EITHER SEX
grssping the privileges of adult years before
they are ready TO assume the correspond
ing responsibilities.
What shall we see in young America for
the next quarter OF a century? After SOW
ing his wild oats will he settle down as q
practical man in a practical way to realize
the only two objects worth living for in Il
practical world-to make money and spend
it. To make money himself TO spend
money wisely, surely this were no mean
object of ambition.
He then went on TO refer TO the life OF
Peabody and other distinguished men,
comparing those who had devoted their
lives TO scienc? with those who had devoted
theirs to money-making.
He spoke OF the boys and girls as the
hone of the country. There was one great
fault, however, which must he corrected.
The child generally rules the mother and
the mother rules the father. What we
need is more parental authority. The
boys and girls should be educated in
the public schools and the more the better.
A good common school education increases
a mans market value l0Oper cent. Young
America must be educated, not to despise
labor but to control it. Not that he may
live in idleness Of body and OF mind, but
that his work may be profitable both to
himself and Others. Aud for this educa-
tiau there is but one sufficient agent, the
free public school. Other agencies may
instruct the classes; this alone can educate
the masses.
The speaker went Oh to show the dis
tinction between examining and

LECTURE ON ELOCUTION.


Five of her pupils came forward aud the
poise, hip, waist, twist and contrast exer-
cises were explained. Miss Meholin led
her class in the most beautiful exercise Of
the day. In perfect time with the slow
beat of music, the various positions and
motions we're exempliied. The beauty of
the performance, the graceful motions Of
pupils and teacher charmed the audience.
Miss Meholin then introduced two Of Der
advanced pupils, in order to illustrate the
connection OF thought and gesture.
She stated THAI Ter scholars had gone
through special course Of training, in
subjecting the muscles and nerves 10 pre-
sent expression. The ideas Of Faith in
God, caution, yexation aud anger, were
announced in turn. Acting independently,
the scholars illustrated the various emo
tions in the most realistic manner. Miss
Meholin stated that they had not been
taught single gesture. The perfection of
expression attained
WAS TRULY MARVELLOUS,
and reflects the highest credit upon the
thorough conscientious work of their in
straetress.
After various vocal exercises Miss Me-
holm gave a rendition OF n. p. Willis
famous poem 'The Leper," which was
highly appreciated by her hearers.
Miss Carrie Reed sang solo of rare
merit, and Dr. Newell continued his lee
ture on Grammar.

Afternoon Session,

The afternoon sessic: of the Institute
was opened win music by Washington
school, aud as the delightful strains floated
out through the air, the lecture hall quick
ly filed up with large audience, COM
prising many prominent educators OF the
State, besides visitors and teachers from
this city and vicinity. DR.. MA. Newell's
talk on geography was the first on the pro-
gramme. DR.. Newell is a graduate of Dub
lin College and one Of the leading teachers
Of the State of Maryland. Before beginning
he read some extracts of poetry, which he
desired the members of the institute to
copy. His address was bright, entertain
ing and instructive.
In teaching geography, more is neceS-
sary than assigning lessons and hearing
Rotations. How much more, ii is hard
to tell. The teacher must possess that
gift OF all gifts originality. The same
beaten path will not do for all to tread on.

that his own soul be watered. There

NO DEFINITE RULE

can he laid down as to the latitude
that may be allowed. The detini-
tions in geography are generally beyond
the comprehension of the pupil. They
should be committed verbatim. The
teacher must lead the child from what it
knows to the comprehension Of what it
does not know. In such work, no quail
fcation of an instructor is more valuable
than the power to use comparison, to
bring clearly before the minds eye the
exact distinctions and differences whose
import you wish to convey.
Lastly do not teach that part OF geo
grophy which is almost entirely useless.
II is of little or no moment whether q
pupil is intimately acquainted with all the
geographical peculiarities of the remote
portions OF the earth. Just where the
principal towns OF BorneO are, and in
what part of Malaysia are the Rhillipins
Islands, and what is the area of Madagas-
car, are matters not absolutely necessary
to good practical knowledge of gsogra-
ply.
